If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Why is my toddler losing their mind right now?" this episode is for you. We’re joined by toddler expert and parenting coach Devon Kuntzman to help decode the emotional rollercoaster that is toddlerhood. From tantrums in Target to bedtime battles and the big feelings behind their tiny bodies, we’re digging into it all.Devon walks us through what’s really going on in a toddler’s brain, what they’re trying to communicate when they “act out,” and how we as parents can meet them with more understanding, structure, and confidence. We also explore what it means to be a “safe parent,” the difference between gentle vs permissive parenting, and what to do when you and your partner aren’t on the same page with discipline.Plus, we talk about what no one warns you about: parenting burnout, overstimulation, and how to stay grounded in the chaos.Whether you’re in the thick of toddlerhood or just trying to survive the day without yelling, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and more confident in the parent you already are!
